Knee injury rules Suns skipper Gary Ablett out for season
GOLD Coast captain Gary Ablett won't play again this season with scans revealing he suffered a medial ligament tear against Adelaide.
Ablett was substituted out of Saturday's game in the first quarter with the Suns initially believing the injury to his left knee involved meniscus or cartilage damage and would sideline him for three to four weeks.
But leading sports medico Dr Peter Larkins told AFL.com.au on Monday morning it had since been confirmed that the two-time Brownlow medallist had torn his medial ligament.
"Gary has suffered a medial ligament tear which doesn't require surgery," Larkins said.
"It would have been a six-week injury at any time and they're not going to rush him back this home and away season."
